Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have my DECO M5's configured as AP. My pi-hole logs tell me the M5 is trying to reach all kind of domains on a regular basis flooding my DNS server with (cached) requests.

 

Here is the screenshot:

 

 

Why is it doing this?

Can I turn it off? My AP's have no business being on the Internet.

 

Thanks!

This is Internet connection health check. Deco does not offer an option to turn it off.

 

I wonder if these queries would have been less frequent if they weren't blocked by your DNS server. I am also guessing not all Deco DNS queries are blocked, otherwise you would have had Deco M5 LED turning red.
